Default Micro Managing Illusions?

Do you play TFT Illusions (and images) where the player's Caster character has to micromanage the illusioin or do you play where the illusion is semi-autonomous and the Caster only has to "intercede" when something requiring a critical decision occurs.

So If an Illusion guard is with the party and they are walking down the hall and turn a corner, does the caster have to put some attention on having the guard turn too or can the caster ignore the guard, expecting it to turn on its own?

If the guard Illusion is told to only let people pass who show a pass, can the caster be doing other things like having an intimate conversation with his mate?

If the wizard is busy and someone asks the Illusion a question, does the Illusion stay in pause mode until the wizard notices and then has to have the Illusion ask what was just said? Or do you have the Illusion answer rudimentarily even if the wizard is busy?

I play it that the Illusion is automated and can do basic activities without the effort of the wizard. It will not contradict the intentions of the caster, though.
